"I wish you the best of luck, Hero, simply because you're going to need it."
- The Black Knight to the Hero.
The Black Knight is the moniker of the nameless ghost of Greenguard West, who came to regret for his misdeeds in life but won't rest until the curse on his suit of armor is lifted.
History[]
In life the Black Knight was an evil man, the most evil of all knights as he himself described, going as far as stealing his enemies' souls[1] or even breaking them[2]. His wickedness was such that it seeped into his armor, which became cursed by Evil.
Undeath and the Hero's Quest[]
One day the Black Knight died and lived on as a roaming spirit in Grenguard Forest, and much time he had to rethink his deeds, to regret the sins commited in life. But no amount of regret seemed to atone, for the armor worn in his days of malevolence was still filled with Evil, creating a bloodthirsty spirit that continues attack the living.
In their adventuring throughout the forest, the Hero came upon the Black Knight's ghost who told them his story and asked them to destroy his armor. For that the Hero would have to gather its pieces spread around the forest and protected by Greenguards's most powerful monsters:[3]
- Leg piece guarded by Gell Oh No, down in a well in Greenguard East.
- Chest piece guarded by the Greenguard Dragon, in its lair in Greenguard West.
- Shoulder piece guarded by the Deathgazer, inside of its realm in Greenguard West.
- Arm piece in guarded of the Greenguard Basilisk, hidden inside a tree stump in Greenguard East.
The Black Knight's cursed armor
After the Hero defeated the monsters and delivered the armor pieces back to the Black Knight, they were given the Black Knight Orb, a dark, glowing orb that allows them to see the Evil spirit of the Black Knight[4]. Once the Spirit was summoned with one of its many weapons, it battled the Hero and ultimately lost. The curse was lifted and the Black Knight was finally free.
Moving on[]
After having his armor's curse lifted, the Black Knight was convinced by the Hero to hand over his Eternal Contract to Dage the Evil, accepting servitude to the Undead Legion. In doing so, the Hero passed the first trial round.[5]
Later on the Hero was sent by Serenity to get the Black Knight's "Knight's Album" along with Secret Lyrics from Grateful Undead and a Dragonbone Club from the Greenguard Dragon so she could make the Hero another VIP pass for The NPCs concert.[6]
Lastly, the Hero was sent to retrieve a piece of the Black Knight's armor by Artix, together with Souls of the Destroyed from Dark Elementals and Shadow Essences from Shadow Serpents, allowing the paladin to craft Legion armor parts for Daimiyo.[7]
